Drag queen: Mado

A drag queen is a guy who dresses like a woman. In Montreal, you can find a place to watch drag queen's show called Mado where you can get lots of fun and get some surprises from your boring regular life. The place has a show on every Thursday night starting at 10p.m. I've been there a couple of times.For people who like to see something special and something they've never seen before, I strongly suggest them to go there. If you have a student card, you will get half price discount for the entrance fee. At the beginning of the show, there was an emcee start with a small talk in French, and then they introduced Mado(also the name of the owner) who came on the stage. One of the breathtaking scene is to see Mado's luxury dresses. I can see he did a lot of efforts on his outfit and the make up. If you could understand French, you'd get even more amusement. Moreover, Mado said that if you don't understand French is not my fucking problem! Anyway, "While in Rome, do as the Romans do."The show was two thumbs up great. Some of the performers are more feminine than me when they are dancing. At break time, Mado comes on stage to promote the alcohol and said the classic line "the more you drink, the more we look beautiful!" which is so true.
